Mubarak’s greatest crime against his people. He had no vision, no high aspiration, no will for great educational attainment. He just had this wildly exaggerated sense of Egypt’s greatness based on the past.

It is really amazing listening to Shahrzad music from 1001 nights (موسيقى شهرذاد من الف ليلة و ليلة) story. It makes me feel happy and change my mode. You can feel the story in it even without watching actors or ballet dancers.

Scheherazade Went on with Her Story, illustration from Arabian Nights (1928) by Virginia Frances Sterret.
Sheherazade (Scheherazade; Russian: Шехерезада, Shekherezada in transliteration), Op. 35, is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888. Based on The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, sometimes known as The Arabian Nights,[1] this orchestral work combines two features common to Russian music and of Rimsky-Korsakov in particular: dazzling, colourful orchestration and an interest in the East, which figured greatly in the history of Imperial Russia, as well as orientalism in general. It is considered Rimsky-Korsakov’s most popular work.[2] The music was used in a ballet by Michel Fokine. This use of the music was denounced by the Rimsky-Korsakov estate, led by the composer’s widow, Nadezhda Rimskaya-Korsakova.[3]

I started this blog after the Egyptian revolution on January 25th 2011. I had a lot of flying thoughts due to Egypt’s situation. Thoughts about how to make Egypt better, how people now are thinking, agreeing or disagreeing, how the world is looking to us and how we are responding to it, how Egyptians have great spirit on making fun of any situation and how Egyptian lack a lot of communication and debating skills.

I wanted to throw out my ideas somewhere, this is how this blog started. It is not technical blog, it doesn’t represent any of my employer’s opinion.
